So the most recent mortgage payment finally posted to the account and the remaining total is $17961.21. $292.20 went to principal and $83.66 went to interest, so we are approaching about 80% of the payment to principal and 20% to interest. It's a nice feeling. Although an even nicer feeling would be to be done with the place completely.

Next time DH comes home (he left last night) our primary goal is to get the last few boxes of stuff packed up and out of there and then have a professional service come out and clean it from top to bottom.

After that we need to get one window pane replaced, replace several interior doors, finish the drywall in the bathroom, and get an estimate on painting at least two bedrooms, the bonus room, one bathroom, and the hallway. Originally we were thinking of replacing the carpet because of some wrecked spots, but we realize there is enough carpet in the closets to make repairs with and then we can just redo the flooring in the carpet. Much cheaper in the long run.

We also need to update the security system. It functions, but the box you enter the code into is cracked. It also needs another motion detector in a different room and three windows wired into the system. We'll probably do that in April though because those upgrades will be an additional $500 or so.
